the outsiders oneshots BOOK 1

•JOHNNY•

(JOHNNYS P.O.V.)

"these scars won't fade quick, man" dally told me after handing me some rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball. i hissed as i pressed it onto my developing bruise and the cut that was in the middle of it.

"y/n's gonna flip her shit," i mumbled. dally rolled his eyes.

"she flips her shit over everything man, when are you going to ditch her?" he asked me.

a fire burned deep within me, and if dally wasn't bigger and rugged than me i would've knocked his head off. instead, i took a calmer approach.

"i love her man. she just cares for me is all, and she only flips out for serious stuff," i defended her.

"then i guess everything is serious," dally threw his hands up in a mocking manner.

i scoffed at him and set the alcohol bottle on his desk.

"whatever man," i hugged as i opened to door to leave. "she's the best thing that ever happened to me. everyone else sees it why can't you?"

i didn't give him time to say anything before i shut the door and left.

i got to thinking as i walked home. maybe y/n freaked out to often. i mean, if i was a few minutes later than i told her i would be she would start panicking.

all my worries and thoughts melted away once i stepped inside the Curtis home all alone and saw her laying on the floor with a book in front of her. god, my girl is an angel.

"hey baby," i muttered and leaned down to kiss her cheek. she turned her head and snuck a kiss on the lips.

she giggled until she noticed the bruise on my cheek.

"what happened!" she asked sitting upright and forgetting about her book.

"bah! don't worry about it," i waves it away and i walked to the kitchen in hopes of losing her. my efforts didn't work because she just followed me.

"johnny..." she trailed on grabbing my arm with her hand and lightly keeping a hold on me.

"i'm fine okay! just leave it alone! i don't get what the big deal is!" i said, a little louder than i meant to. her face dropped and she looked at me with puzzled eyes.

"i just worry about you!" she protested.

"oh don't even go there sweetheart!" i hissed.

she let go of my arm and i suddenly missed her hold and regretted all the things i just said.

"i'm sorry," i said putting my hands on her shoulders and looking her deep in the eye. "i just hate that you worry about me all the time."

"i cant help it!" she cried. "ever since you got jumped i've been so scared that it'll happen again, but we'll get there to late. johnny! if we had gotten there a minute later you would have been d-de-"' she choked on her own rambling words.

i pulled her into my chest and held her while she caught her breath.

"i know, i know," i whispered. i hated seeing her all choked up like this. she felt the same knot in her throat when she thinks about losing me that i do when my dad goes after me.

"i don't want you to ever leave me,"
she cried. "i love you to much!"

"i know. i won't leave you baby," i promised.

and i kept that promise, until me and pony got jumped in the park.
